if you went from 132 up to 256, that rise of 124 points suggests that you ingested about 25 grams of carbohydrate.
i don't hold with this "nett carb" thing. how many grams of carbs are in that wrap? also mushrooms are low carb - not ZERO carb.
i reckon that you must have had somewhere in the region of 15-25 grams of total carb to get that spike.
look back on what you had and this might well be the truth.

Not necessarily true. I had something with 20 carbs once, which should have given me a 100-point rise. Well, it shot me up over 200 points. Spikes like this can happen, especially when the meds may need adjusting for a new diabetic.
